Minimatch is a minimal matching utility that works by converting glob expressions into JavaScript RegExp objects.

Security Fix(es):

  • A regular expression denial of service flaw was found in Minimatch. An attacker able to make an application using Minimatch to perform matching using a specially crafted glob pattern could cause the application to consume an excessive amount of CPU. (CVE-2016-1000023)
